Blogging in Nigeria is relatively new. With the success story of the likes of Linda Ikeji, one of the country’s richest female bloggers, many are joining the bandwagon.

However, only a few top bloggers that are popular in the country can be said to be successful in the blogosphere and their net worth.

Sometimes, it is difficult trying to rank Nigerian bloggers as many have side hustles that are not linked to their names while some of their blogs also do not appeal to the Nigerian audience and as such, people don’t even know of such popular websites.

However, in no particular order, the following are a list of top 10 richest bloggers in Nigeria 2019 and their net worth, who are successful and popular.

#1. Linda Ikeji Net Worth #3.2 billion

Linda Ikeji can be said to be the richest blogger in the country just as Oluwaseun Osewa, the owner of Nairaland is the face of online forums in Nigeria. She started her blog in 2006 with no intention of making money. Linda even started with the free blogger platform on a second level domain (www.lindaikeji.blogspot.com) and continued using it until last 2 years when she got a custom top-level domain (www.lindaikejiblog.com).
